Does anyone know of a source for front 88 wheel bearings?

Ebay has some vendors selling bearings, does anyone know if they are good?
They range in price from about $50, $60, $100 and pairs for $130

I thought he stopped making those. Something about a failure on a track car?
I will see tomorrow if I can get some.
Thanks

Rock Auto lists them if you want standard duty OEM.

Rodney Dickman still has them listed on his site. But I would shoot him an e-mail to be sure he still has them in stock.

Thanks for the help. I am trying to order the Rodney rebuildable bearings.
For now I have an old used set that appears to be in better shape than what is in the car.
I also ordered a new inner tierod but I doubt it went bad. The alignment shop said the driver side is worn? The tierods are new with the power steering rack.

There are no standard duty OEM parts left anywhere. Everything on the normal automotive market is garbage Chinesium.

The rebuildable bearings are on the way.

A) You may want to back off the Camber on the right front wheel and Increase the Caster angle (Try for equal amounts right/left) (the design allows for more of one vs less of the other)

B) I don't know if they make a ball joint for 88s that allow for more camber adjustment (the original 84-87 BJs would only allow for positive camber (STU-pid!) but after-market BJS have slotted holes allowing fro Negative camber)

C) I never liked the sealed bearings on the 88- I like being able to disassemble/inspect and then repack the 84-87 bearings, so the RD 88 bearings are a real improvement.

Start about 1/3 the way down...

Very cool, thank you.

Has the car ever had any off-road experiences? Big hits--maybe even just curbing car hard--can bend the mounting ears for the lower control arms, without bending the control arms themselves... this shows up as a problem getting enough caster.

EDIT: Is this car lowered? If so, NVM the above... the lowering is causing your issue.

Looks like just a lousy alignment shop. Unless your car has been in a wreck, you should be able to get around 7 degrees caster on the front, so they've got it at 3 (which is the non-GT spec; 5 is the GT spec) and supposedly they can't make any more adjustments in the front? After years of always getting crappy alignments from shops, I learned how to do it myself.

I basically did exactly what Fieroguru outlined above in his link, I was very new to Fiero's back then and was a real headache to get my Formula within spec after lowering.

Fully adjustable upper control arms (among other things) are available for the 88.
